Project STOCKING

Project STOCKING is a plan for moving TNE equipped factories off Earth to Callisto, this is done to speed up Project ZEUS since Callisto will need a big amount of infrastructure build and studies show that building it on site is more effective. Also having TNE based production capability on Callisto is considered wise, since Project ZEUS will make Callisto into the primary Fleet base for the solar system.

History:

First proposed by Councilor Ynkling on the 15th June 2031, along with project FISHNET and later project KNEEHIGHS, it was widely received as a good idea and quickly gained support with UNIN, UNEIB and UNDOT. The project was approved with B level commitment later the same day and is currently underway.

Current progress:

The project is currently approved and the factories await shipping.

Project STOCKING

As of 2nd January 2031, Callisto has 80 ground-based mines, producing around 756 tonnes of duranium annually.

Callisto has a colony cost of 5.7, giving us the following values:

A. 38 factories, 190 units of infrastructure, 334K population per year
B. 19 factories, 95 units of infrastructure, 167K population per year
C. 10 factories, 50 units of infrastructure, 88K population per year

Cost: 38/19/10 factories, decreased shipments of Callistan duranium

Benefits: Rapid development of the Callisto colony without heavy use of transportation. The factories could form the core of future Callistan production expansion with the eventual goal of producing mines or other goods.
